COMMUNITY NEWS & REVIEWS: VILLAGE HALL JUMBLE SALE ~ Due to unforeseen circumstances, the autumn Jumble Sale hosted by the Village Hall committee had to be cancelled at almost the 11th hour ! But fear not, all you bargain hunters, - a new date has been arranged - and this will be even better, as it's close to Christmas therefore helping you to '˜de-clutter' in time for grabbing lots of bargains for the holiday season. The NEW DATE for this extravaganza is to be SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18th at 2.00pm. Please make a note of this in your diaries & calendars.

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING: Staplecross may be rather a small village, as things go, but we can still put on a good show when we feel the cause is just and a Fundraising event in aid of Macmillan is just such a cause. That’s why the residents of this parish will be coming along to the Staplecross Village Hall, in Northiam Road, Staplecross between 10.00am and 12 Noon TOMORROW to enjoy delicious cake, coffee or tea, have a browse at what the stalls have on offer, pick the winning raffle and/or tombola tickets and generally have an enjoyable time amongst friends & family whilst showing our support for such a worthy cause. There will be plenty of attractions to entice you to part with a coin or two which will all go to such a worthwhile cause. This charity, which as you know, has such dedicated and willing staff on all levels, is always desperately in need of funds, and events like these are a good way of not only a means of raising funds for them, but are also a way of saying ‘Thank You’ for all the care given to others in need. For all further information or perhaps to offer a cake or gift or a raffle prize, please contact Pauline on 01580~830570 who along with Anka Buss and other colleagues, has worked so hard to ensure that a good donation can once again, be given to this worthwhile charity, on our behalf. Please come along and join us and show support during this morning’s event and help raise much needed funds whilst enjoying a cuppa amongst congenial company.
